Length of highway: exact or approximate?

Is the 250-mile figure exact or rounded off? In the article, the metric equivalent is given as 402 km, meaning that the 250-mile figure is exact. In the infobox, however, the metric measure is given as 400 km, meaning that the 250 is inexact. Which is the case? 169.199.121.2 ( talk) 16:55, 22 October 2012 (UTC) reply

It's not cited. Therefore it's approximate. At WP:USRD, pretty much every article with an exact mileage has a source for that mileage. The mileage is also usually a decimal, and not a rounded number. – TC N7 JM 12:04, 24 November 2012 (UTC) reply
More than a year later, I've found the exact length. T C N7JM 20:23, 23 December 2013 (UTC) reply
